Uranus    CyclopesHecatonchires Aphrodite  OceanusCoeus Crius Hyperion Iapetus Kronos Theia Rhea Themis Mnemosyne Pheobe Tethys Uranus was Gaea's mate, and his current whereabouts are unknown, as he was run off by his youngest son, Kronos. He was not well liked, a bitter wolf who seemed uninterested in his children at best, and violent towards them at worst. Nothing was ever good enough for him, and no one met his standards. Gaea was his mate, her kindness so contrasted him. She was too good for him, and he wasn't afraid to use her kindness against her. |

Ophion     Ophion was a younger early member of the pack. Though he had no children, he had a dedicated mate, Eurynome. He was a wise and patient wolf, dedicated to his pack and the raising of pups. He and his mate were planned to take up the mantle of leading the pack before his untimely death. Kronos      HestiaPoseidon Hera Hades Demeter Zeus Kronos was the adopted son of Uranus and Gaea, and mate to Rhea. He was a strong hunter and led Elysian Fields first hunting party. Upon his father's banishment which he led, he brought about a years long peace. Throughout that peace, however, he still maintained some of his father's controlling and neglectful behavior, but without his cruelty. Or so it seemed. Upon Ophion's death, Kronos's son, Zeus, accused him of killing him. Kronos had been vocal about hoping to take over the pack after Gaea, and openly disapproved of Ophion as the successor. As a result, the pack became divided and outright war began, with wolves picking different sides. Eventually, this led to a brutal fight between Kronos and Zeus, in which Kronos was killed. This left behind his mate and revealed Zeus's darkness, which seems a theme within the males of his line. |

Aether      Aether was the first to join Gaea's pack and lived as a traveling wolf during her life. She had no mate, but gave birth to a few litters of pups, including Selene, Hyperion and Theia's youngest daughter, and Hermes, the daughter of Maia and Zeus. She had a love for adventure and was always eager to share her knowledge and stories with the rest of the pack, particularly the pups. She maintained a friendly and loving relationship with Selene and Hermes, despite the fact that her traveling prevented her from raising them. Before her death, she gave her decor to her two daughters still within the pack and wished them all happiness. Hermes decided to carry on Aether's legacy and begin traveling.

Decor added: Angel Oak BG โฅ Name: PiffleLovesBaseball #740 Den link: The Court of Howls Stats on arrival: 515 Lore: Aether arrived at the Court of Howls just in time to attend the 2nd edition of the Treasure Hunt Challenge. The pack was divided into teams and Aether was asked to join Team Guaiacum led by Aahsa, one of the female huntresses. Unfortunately, the victory went to Team Bearberry, that made use of Aska's, their captain, recent training as a scout to quickly find the prize. Aether would have really liked to win, but she still spent a good time with some members of the pack. And she managed to keep her pretty guaiacum crown. Decor added: Guaiacum Crown Name: Lionel #34199 Den link: Sun Stealers Stats on arrival: 515 Lore: In midwinter, Aether visited the Sun Stealers, who were having a pup crisis.

It didn't sit right with her, but she enjoyed staying there, nonetheless. Decor added: Bird's Nest [Branch] Name: InukGraywolf #49201 Den link: [link] Stats on arrival: 515 Lore: Following the departure of her last destination, Aether had been running across the taiga landscape restlessly and without tiring. Her shimmering blue paint made her appear like a bright streak sprinting through the cliffs and lakes. When she finally spotted something which caught her eye, she slowed to a trot. Upon barreling through these lands, she could see a golden wolf perched atop a tall peak, and she could only assume them to be a pack leader, judging by their posture and adornments. She very quickly and curiously, made their acquaintance, and got to meet Cheiftan Phillipa. The Cheiftan had welcomed her with dignity, and offered the lively wolf a scouting position, as their newest scout was still in training at the time. Aether ecstatically accepted, and spent the next few days exploring the Salmonstone's pack territory, with the payment of alerting any danger. When the Scouting position was eventually passed on to the new young wolf, it was time to move on, but not before the Cheiftan expressed her gratitude, and gifted Aether with a quick, bright blue dragonfly companion. Decor added: Ebony Jewelwing Name: Faeyne #7280 Den link: Rockford Pack Stats on arrival: 543 Lore: Spent another leisurely stint at the Rockford Pack, getting out of the worst storm she had ever seen, and spent a good long while getting stories of the goings on in the world from the other pack members, to better assess the dangers before heading out again. โฅ Decor added: Glowing Spores Decor Name: Forsee626 #78733 Den link: The Shadow Slayers Stats on arrival: 543 Lore: Aether settled down in the Shadow Slayers for a while but really didn't like it.

She wanted to get out of that dreadful place. Decor added: Eurasian Collared Dove Name:Moon Whisper #53890 Den link:https://www.wolvden.com/profile/53890 Stats on arrival:543 Lore: No ideas, sorry.

Pups and even a few juveniles crowded close, curious; they'd never beheld such a free-spirited and well-traveled wolf before! After a few moments, Atlas chortled and told his pack to let Aether rest; she'd had a long journey and a place to rest within Atlas' personal lodge awaited her, for as long as she deigned to stay. Though scouting for Initiis Novis was handled, as Scout himself proclaimed in a rather vocal tone, Aether was more than welcome to explore the lands surrounding the pack's territory. At last, warm breezes brought familiar scents to Aether: home. It was time to return home. Decor Added: Arctic White Name: The Elysian Fields Den link: Pack of origin (link at top) Stats on arrival: 543 Lore: Aether found her way back to her home in time to weather the winter. Upon her arrival Gaea and the rest of the pack welcomed her and listened eagerly to her stories. Some of the pack remembered her from before she left, many met her for the first time. Aether found that all of her children had left the pack, which saddened her as she remembered the joy that they had brought her. She decided to mother another litter and was blessed with four lovely pups, which she spend the spring and summer raising to be strong and adventurous. Soon, the breeze began calling her back to the unknown, and Aether knew that though she didn't have much time left, she wanted one more adventure before settling down for the final time. There were many tears as Aether announced her plans, but she promised to return. Decor added: n/a Name: โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ #51433 Den link: Yliaster Stats on arrival: 545 Lore: It was a stormy autumn night when Aether found herself lost in the praire, somewhere south of Elysian Fields. She was cold, hungry and soaked from head to toe as she searched for any shelter in the plains. For the first time perhaps ever, she regretted leaving the warm comforts of her home, and wondered whether traveling alone was the right thing to do at her age. Lightning flashed in the night sky and winds howled, and more than once, Aether feared that she would be struck down or blown away then and there. Why did I have to go south? She lamented. I thought it would be warmer... One more strike, and I may as well dig a hole in the ground to hide in. Then, somehow, the storm died down. The howling of the wind, which was all around her, now sounded more wolf-like. On the hill ahead there was indeed a pack of wolves, who stood proud and strong, despite the forceful winds. One of them moved down the hill to meet Aether - a young, graceful male with skarn fur in shades of grey, brown, and liver. His gait was relaxed, and when he spoke, he was warm and courteous, knowing that Aether is a traveler, and guided her to The Havre, where she received the warmth and shelter she so needed. Several major events occured in Yliaster during Aether's stay, the most major one being the death of Yliaster's queen and founder, Stella Signata, whose grandson, Kyllikke Ava'al was named king. She realized that it was the same wolf that had met her in the plains before, but Aether could have sworn that he didn't have that awful scar on his eye the night before, and there were many rumours about that. There was also, of course, the royal wedding, to which she was invited, and another bonding ceremony in Grรคnsland. While staying at The Havre, Aether enjoyed lavish attention from the Lord of the Havre, who gifted her with purple lunar detritus sparks to match her guaiacum crown. She also taught the pups Sylvi and Hawkbit ambushing techniques, after which little Sylvi told her she wanted to become a traveling wolf just like her! Soon, winter had come, and Aether feared the worst - that she would be stranded in Yliaster. Luckily, winters in the praire were milder than the autumn she experienced. Most mornings were foggy and still, while the nights were clear and crisp. The beauty of the landscape called out to her, and Aether decided now would be a good time to leave, but not before saying goodbye to the new friends she made along the way. During the lesson: Aether tied the toy to a string made of straw. She pulled the toy between rocks and bushes and Sylvi had to pounce and steal it without being detected by Aether's keen senses. Decor added: Purple Lunar Detritus Song: The Misshapen Steed by Agalloch Name: SilverWolf #70607 Den link:ย link Stats on arrival: 546 Lore: Though her foggy winter, Aether found herself in the Deciduous Forest. Wandering around this beautiful forest She ran into Matalie, Alpha of The Wintermaw Pack. "And who are you?" she asked with a curious gaze "My name is Aether, I'm a traveler!" "Well, if you want you can stay with me till then" They both padded through the forest through the entrance of two crossed trees.ย Flooded with young eyes Aether was a little overwhelmed with all the pups around. Matalie introduced her to her son Eden who was also a soon to be traveler, he showed her around the den where she would be staying. After a while Aether settled down bound to sleep when she felt heavy breathing on her flank, she lifted her head to see pups Daisy, Bentli, and Rafalio staring her down. "Hi! Im daisy and these and litter mates! what's your name?" she tilted her head "Uh, Aether?" she also tilted her head in response *the pups giggled * Suddenly a pretty she-wolf walked through the dense leaves with the look of an angry mother. She quickly pushed the pups out of the den and apologized. "Sorry about that, I'm callous the mother of all these wolves you see here!" "The mother??", Aether said with shock "Not literally," she laughed "but I basically raised them as my own" After a short talk on the packs back story they said their goodbyes and Aether was left to rest after her long travels. After a few days Aether felt the soft breeze brush through her fur and once again felt the need to explore. She thanked Matalie and everyone else for their kindness but when she turned to leave daisy gave her a gift to remember her by. Decor added: Spiral Bracelet Song: While you at it by Jessie Murph |

Gen 2Hecatonchires     Uranus Gaea  Hecatonchires was the son of Uranus and Gaea, and brother of Cyclopes. He and Cyclopes dared to speak against their fathers abuse, resulting in Uranus running them off from the pack for a time. They attempted to return when they heard Uranus was gone, but Kronos refused them and lied to Gaea about their whereabouts. Once Zeus began his takeover, however, he sent for their aid and they finally returned to the pack to defeat Kronos. After Kronos had been killed, they became hunters again and trained Heracles, becoming father figures to him in his father's neglect. |

Gen 1Gaea  Uranus: Oceanus Coeus Crius Hyperion Iapetus Kronos Theia Rhea Themis Mnemosyne Pheobe Tethys Pontus: Nereus Thaumas Phorcys Ceto Eurybia Gaea trudged slowly through the heavy snow, barely able to feel her paws. Frost coated her fur, and her right leg was caked with frozen blood from an earlier fight. Snow swirled around and the wind howled, so she walked blindly, praying to stumble upon an empty cave. For a moment she lay down in the snow, trying to catch her breath. Her eyes slid closed and she felt a warmth wash over her, as if the raging blizzard had been suddenly replaced with a balmy summer's day. A little voice in the back of her head told her she was going to die if she didn't get up, that she would slip away and never come back. But she was too far gone that she couldn't have moved if she wanted to. Instead, she fell into dreams. The bulky, dark gray pack leader stood in front of Gaea, baring his teeth as he stared her down. Gaea looked at her mother pleadingly, but she just looked to the ground and turned away. "We don't have enough food to last us all through the winter," he snarled. "You have to go. Try to find a place before the cold comes." Then the cold was back, the deafening wind and the blinding snowfall. Gaea jerked herself up in an instant, taking a step forward. The storm quieted a bit for a moment, clearing up just enough that Gaea could see a glimmer of orange in the distance. A bolt of energy shot through her and she stumbled through the snow as quickly as she could, no longer feeling the freezing temperatures or the pain in her injured leg. The light grew larger until the storm picked up once more, obscuring the glow. Still, Gaea went on, trying to keep her direction. After a few minutes, she stumbled into a cave, the dark of the storm replaced by warm firelight and the cold wind with stillness. For a moment, Gaea panicked at the sight of fire, but she soon realized it was contained by a ring of stones. She looked up to see a large wolf rising to his feet, the hair on his back standing up as he growled deeply. She noticed a large raven standing on his back, its feet gripping his thick fur to hold on. "I don't want trouble." Gaea backed up a bit. "I-I just need a place to stay the night." The stranger's eyes were a deep red and they narrowed. "I'm not looking for friends," he snarled, stepping forward. The raven flapped from his back to stand in front of him. "Take down big prey with friend," he said, hopping towards Gaea. "Can defend from enemies better with friend. More food. More safe. Two wolves is better than one." The wolf huffed, but his fur relaxed. "If you eat more than you hunt you go," he said. He waved his head towards a spot next to the fire. "You can stay as long as you're useful." Gaea laid down where he had gestured. "My name is Gaea," she said, watching the stranger settle down where he had been laying before. "Uranus." "How'd you get the fire to sit still?" she asked. The raven cuddled down next to Uranus. "I made it," he said. "Saw humans do it. Learned. Made a fence of rocks for it." He buried his head into his feathers to sleep, abruptly ending his explanation. "That's Blueberry," Uranus whispered. "Now go to sleep. You have a lot of work to do to earn your keep in the morning." Gaea nodded and huddled closer to the fire, still shivering, it took her a while to feel warm enough to sleep. Once she did, she slept soundly, only waking briefly in the night when she heard Blueberry's talons clicking across the cave floor and then felt him nestle into her fur with a coo. Gaea was the leader and founder of the Elysian Fields pack. She was abandoned by her pack, nearly leading to her death if not for luck. It became her mission to help other young wolves find a home and a place without having to go through what she did. For a long time, her pack was a haven for homeless and struggling wolves. Some would find another pack suited to them with Gaea's help while others would stay, becoming pupsitters, hunters, scouts, herbalists, or teachers to keep up the pack. But the Elysian Fields wasn't the utopian paradise many thought. Uranus, who saved Gaea's life, never saw anyone beyond what they could give to him. He was abusive to both her and the other pack members, did little to help the pack, and drove away those who spoke up against him. Gaea, feeling she owed him her life, could never find the strength to chase him away. They became mates early on and had a number of children together. As the pups and other pack members grew, they became bitter towards Uranus. His youngest son, Kronos, united his siblings and packmates to drive off Uranus. With him gone, Gaea found true love in her mate, Pontus, who shared her compassion and desire for a better future. The two were rarely seen apart and had number of pups, which Pontus devoted his life to. Gaea turned over control of the pack to Kronos, who managed hunting, guarding, and scouting, while she focused on her family and her mission. Kronos wasn't angry or cruel like his father. But his desire for control and power above all else painted a similar legacy of neglect, control, and selfishness. Gaea recognized this and did her best to mediate, keeping him reasonable for a few years. However, he only grew worse by the day. So Gaea appointed Ophion, one of the first members of the pack, as her right hand. He was a calm and compassionate soul that encompassed all of the ideals Gaea strive for. It was shortly after his appointment that he passed suddenly and unexpectedly, just a day after Pontus. With her mate and one of her closest companions dead, Gaea secluded herself, turning all control over to Kronos. Zeus, the youngest son of Kronos, exposed Pontus's and Ophion's deaths as his father's plot to take over the pack. Without proof, some stood by Kronos while other sided with Zeus. Themis, an older and more trusted member of the pack, helped win supporters for Zeus. The two were mates during the time, but in the conflict to follow they would split. Kronos managed to chases off some of his strongest critics, but war was inevitable. Then came the Elysian Field's dark age. No new pack members were accepted and some went into hiding. This lasted for a couple of years, a cold political war threatening to turn bloody. The pack split into two sides, one controlled by Zeus and the other by Kronos. One cold night, while rained poured down, Zeus lead a group of wolves into Kronos's territory and began an attack. Many wolves were injured, but there was only one casualty. Kronos was killed by Zeus an hour into the battle, ending the war. Zeus reunited the split pack, taking some of Kronos's strongest supporters prisoner. Gray speckled Gaea's muzzle and her eyes were clouded as she looked up at Zeus. The warm smile and playful glint that once danced across her eyes was long gone. "You're just like your father, and his before him," her voice was hoarse and weak. "You'll never lead this pack, Zeus. I've made the same mistake too many times to make it again." Zeus looked down at her coldly, his posture rigid. "I saved this pack, grandmother. Athena is strong but young, smart but naive." Gaea shifted, curling her bony legs up to her body. "I was naive when Iย started this pack. To my detriment, I'll admit it. But Athena is not so naive as to make the mistakes I did. I love you, Zeus, I wish this was right for you. But you're not strong in the way you must be. This pack needs you, you will do well as head hunter. But to run a whole pack, it is not your calling. You and I both know I'm dying, so let me go in peace. Let me at least believe you will do right." "You deserve that much," Zeus replied after a moment. He turned from her and walked out of the cave and into the sunny day outside. A few hours later, the pack herbalist, Eurybia, would call the pack to bid their goodbyes. One by one they came into her den and thanked her, covering her in the fresh spring flowers that had begun to spring up from under the snow. Athena came last, carefully placing a yellow daffodil on Gaea's fur. She looked into the wolf's vacant eyes. Eurybia, who had stood silently watching as everyone visited Gaea, spoke for the first time in hours; "I think she saved my life," she said, her voice thick. "So many told her the very same." Athena turned to her. "I want to be that for them. I want to be that... That good." Eurybia smiled "She chose you for a reason. Because she knew you would." |

Tethys      PerseEurynome Clymene Styx Doris Pleione Tethys was the first of Gaea's children to stay in the pack. She was a proficient hunter, though she had to work hard to prove herself to Kronos, who never liked her. She took a liking to Oceanus as soon as they met, and with her feelings reciprocated they quickly became a pair and adopted several daughters. Tethys died peacefully in her sleep and was followed by Oceanus a few rollovers later. |

Gen 2Coeus      AsteriaLelantos Leto Confident and adventurous, Coeus had a love for nature that drew him towards unexplored lands, making him an excellent scout. Though sometimes prideful, he was fiercely loving towards his family and had a sensitive heart of gold. He was pair bonded to Pheobe, who passed away shortly after him. They both enjoyed nature and loved their adopted children, Asteria, Leto, and Lelantos. He remained neutral during the pack's conflicts, instead focusing on his own and him family's needs. He retired young, allowing Persephone to take his place as a scout at about five years. The two had a close bond as he had been the one to guide her and teach as a young wolf. She'd even occasionally ask him to come along and he'd oblige, always returning with a few gifts back for his mate and children. His death left many mourning, especially as he was quickly followed by his beloved mate. |
